A Few Crossover Comedians
















Carol Burnett
Jerry Lewis
Lucille Ball
Vicki Lawrence

What do these 4 stars have in common?










Carol Burnett was and is the woman to pattern yourself after when it comes to comedy. She never took herself too seriously, she always knew who she was, and she could sing-which you would find out after each of her shows.





Vicki Lawrence was a person I thought was mistreated by Carol. Boy was I wrong. And when I discovered that I had been singing one of songs, "The Night The Light Went Ot In Georgia", I was like....wha.....?



If you ever watched Jerry in any of comedy shows and movies, you knew that this was a super funny guy. But to boast his career further was to hear him sing, especially on his telethons.








I was and am forever a fan of Lucille Ball, for her slap-stick comedy. The timing she held was...well, it just left me laughing so hard. The bet she made with Ricky about him losing his temper before she would buy a hat. Awesome! Well, I never knew that Lucy sang, until I saw the movie Sorrowful Jones, and quite well. The reason I say this is she convinced me in her comedy shows that she could not sing.
